I was going for "Glamdring blue" on the grip. I'm quite happy with how it turned out.

Looks pretty cool. What'd you use for material?

It has a hanwei tinker longsword blade, and a hilt set from LG martial arts. The grip is wood, wrapped in cord, wrapped in leather that I did myself.Gærfast wrote:Looks pretty cool. What'd you use for material?

That is lovely. Glamdring Blue is spot-on.

I've been contiplating that same blade, but the images in KoA are a bit grainy. Did you keep the Tinker threaded tang or peen it?

I used the same pommel nut system as the tinkers. I want to be able to swap out the blunt and sharp blades. I actually cut about 3" off of the end of the tang and re-threaded it to make it more of a hand & a half.
